Hi everyone!
I'm wondering if anyone has enough experience/knowledge with the VCS platform to help me figure out how to get out of my current problem...
Basically we have a VCS-C/VCS-E in place. Codecs in the main office register to VCS-C, coders in distant locations register to the VCS-E.
I have a bridge internally that handles multi-protocol calls, and there is a zone set in the VCS so that the calls are forwarded to the internal conference nodes.
That being said, we just recently deployed a new conference node in the APAC region, and if I de-register codecs in that region, through DNS, they will connect to that conference node, which optimizes the connection.
The issue is that when the codecs are registered to the VCS-C and I try to connect to the bridge, the VCS knows there's a zone for it internally and will always forward the calls (traversal) to the internal conference node in the head office instead of telling the codec to actually do its dns resolution locally to connect to the nearest conference node.
Is there (I'm sure there is) a way to make a conditional rule that would say something like:
- All these codecs will go connect internally to that zone
- All those codecs will not have their media handled through the VCS and will instead use local (codec) DNS resolution to find the closest conference node
Thanks in advance for your help!

If I'm understanding you correct, your VCS-C (HQ) and -E (APAC) each have their own endpoints and conference bridge, and you want each to only be able to connect to their own local resources, be it on the VCS-C or -E?
You could accomplish this using search rules, create a search rule on your VCS-C/E for the local conference bridge that has a higher priority than your traversal zone. If you have multiple conference bridges on the same VCS, you could register the endpoints to a Subzone and use a CPL script to allow only calls originating from that Subzone to connect to the conference bridge. There is a CPL References chapter in the VCS Admin Guides that has an example on this.
